Excellent work as usual, Tom. Still waiting for the picture of a long string of these impressive cars.

Fantastic modeling, Tom! Three thumbs up to you!

Great detail and weathering Tom. Thanks for all the detail as to how you created these marvelous boxcars.

Thanks folks for the kind words.

Steve I promise as soon as I can get around to borrowing a digital camera you will have a picture of them in a line.

Format

Tom, it's out of my area, but I like the way you've set it up. You might find a modelling magazine that would take them as a regular (or irregular) feature.
If nothing else, we need to index them here so that we can find them again!
